Hello Linsford families,
Welcome back to a new school year! We have enjoyed a busy, but wonderful start to the 2025-26 school year. It was wonderful to see so many returning and new families and students at our Welcome Back event a couple of weeks ago and to have an opportunity to connect with so many of you.
Thank you to everyone for embracing the new absence reporting system "Safe Arrival" that Black Gold rolled out at the start of the year. For further details and information about this service, please click on the image below:
We are looking forward to our Terry Fox Walk/Run on Friday, September 26 at 1:00 pm. We will do this event on our school grounds, so that no permission forms are required. Parents are welcome to join us.
As a reminder, the Leopard Leaders Update (Principal's Corner) will be sent out each week with a link via email and text message. Please read our weekly news to stay up-to-date with school news, information, and events. Subscribing to our calendar is another great way to know important dates in our school.

BUS LANE & GUEST PARKING
Please park on the street or in the south parking lot for student drop off/pick up during bus times before school and after school. The bus lane in front of the school may be used for quick drop offs between 8:35 and 2:50 pm only. Please adhere to these times for student safety or we will have to ask you to move. Our busses need to be able to pull into the bus lane in a timely fashion and our crosswalk goes right through our bus lane, so we would like to minimize other traffic during student arrival/dismissal times. We ask all guests to be mindful of these times to keep our children safe!
PLAYGROUND FUNDRAISER
Our fundraising group has been working hard to support a new playground at LPS. Our current playgrounds have nearly reached end of life and for safety reasons need to be replaced. We were very fortunate to receive a $100,000 grant from the City of Leduc last year and with other fundraising efforts we are approaching our goal of $150,000. Reaching this goal allows us to apply for a matching grant that will allow us to build our new playground within the next couple of years. This is a large undertaking that requires lots of fundraising, teamwork, and patience. Thank you to all the parents and staff who have contributed to this journey so far. We are excited to move this project to the next level this year. If you are interested in helping us fundraise, please contact our parent fundraising group at: linsfordparkpa@gmail.com
CROSS COUNTRY
A number of students in grade 3-6 have been practicing for a fall cross country run. We are hoping to attend a cross country meet on Thursday, October 2 at Voyageur Park in Devon at 4:00 pm. Students have been practicing at lunch recess. Permission forms will be coming home soon.
LPS & BGC PARTNERSHIP
